COULDN'T BE MUCH CLOSER TO THE WHARF WITHOUT BEING IN THE WATER. TWO BLOCKS OR SO TO GHARDELLS SQUARE, THE CABLE CARS, FERRY TO ALCATRAZ, STARTING POINT FOR CITY TOURS AND WINE COUNTRY TOURS, AND GREAT RESTAURANTS. ROOM WAS LARGE, NEW, AND QUIET.

The room was large, clean and comfortable. Excellent location to everything. All 3 public transportation lines were within 1/2 block of hotel. Area felt safe. One block from fishermans warf. Tip: use back of building exit, it will save you steps. I would stay here again.

We were traveling with our two young children, and just picked this hotel because we saw it while walking along Fisherman's Wharf. When we asked if there was a room with a view, we were told there might be, but the reservationist couldn't guarantee it. We ended up looking at the back alley and into an adjacent office building window. My kids didn't care because they were too fascinated with the Mario games they could play on the tv in the room. The beds were too soft, but the room was clean. We must have been near the trash area because around 11:00 pm I heard what sounded like the trash trucks picking up the dumpsters, or just a lot of trucks. We had the breakfast buffet there both days, which was excellent. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to the kids. The location is good for walking to Pier 39, The Ghiradelli restaurant area, and all the shops along Fisherman's Wharf. On the morning of 4/3, I asked the concierge downstairs in the lobby area if San Francisco had any type of natural history musuem, specifically with dinosaur bones, fossils and the like, and the only thing he could direct me to was the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. When we got there we were disappointed to see the museum was undergoing remodeling, with a huge sign that said "Reopening Sept. 2008". We also tried to visit the Nautical Ship Museum down by Ghiradelli Square (also recommended by the same concierge as a good place to take kids), but it too was undergoing remodeling. Needless to say, that particular concierge on the morning of 4/3 was not up to date on his city. All in all, an ok place to stay.

This hotel is great. BUT -- I called the front desk and point blank asked if there was a bay view and I was told there was. When I checked in I was told there was no view - our view was the back alley. Stay at the Holiday Inn Express on the next block for 50 dollars a night less. I also called the Express and they told me they did not have a bay view so we paid the extra 200 (4 nights) for this hotel (view). At least at the Express you can get coffee in the morning with out having to make it yourself in your room or pay for it in the lobby.

The location of the facility was within walking distance of the wharf and easy public transit to the rest of San Francisco.

We had booked the Holiday Inn on 1300 Columbus and was sent to the Beach St. location which is approx. a block and a half walking distance from the other. No pool or amenitites at Beach location. I believe it was due to booking on the travel website because the person at the front desk said that is how it was booked. We asked to be put in main hotel and said they were full and couldn't accomodate our request. The front desk check in people weren't very helpful or polite. We were in a hurry to get to a medical appt. after checking in and were told we had to take our luggage to the other location before we left, they wouldn't hold it at the front desk for us. The room was clean but had some materials falling off of the ceiling next to the window area. The only good thing I can say about hotel was that it was within walking distance of The Cannery, Ghiradelli Square, and Pier 39. We had a choice of eating at Denny's within the Beach St. location and ended up going to a little restaurant called Joanie's not too far from main hotel. Great breakfast for the price and their blueberry pancakes are to die for.

In ShortSince its 1952 debut in Memphis, Tenn., Holiday Inn has become one of the most recognized hotel brands in the world. Kids rule here
